Hot Stone Massage

Hot stone massage is a deeply soothing form of massage that uses smooth stones to impart heat directly to the muscles. 

My own style of hot stone incorporates Swedish massage performed with heated stones in my hands.  The direct heat increases circulation and relaxes your muscles, preparing them for deeper work.

Hot stone is a very nurturing massage. You will experience sensations of comfort and warmth.  Hot stone massage induces a state of deep relaxation and creates feelings of peacefulness.
A big hit in spas, hot stone massage sometimes finds less favor among regulars who may be reluctant to give up any hands-on time.  Stones begin losing their heat as soon as they are removed from the stone-warmer.  After a few minutes, the therapist returns the cooled stones to the heater and replaces them with warm ones.  This break in physical contact was my one criticism of hot stone massage.  As a massage therapist trained to maintain touch throughout a massage, I found the interruptions intolerably frustrating.  I have since added extra stone-warmers to accomplish a hands-on full-time hot stone massage.
